Finally I am home and am able to make myself somewhat useful around the house. Let's see if I can make it for more than a weekend. I actually got home last Saturday.
I went to the ER last Tuesday evening because I was running a pretty good fever. I had a neutropenic fever. For those that are unfamiliar with what a neutropenic fever might be, I think that this link describes it best.

For the week they pumped my body full of antibiotics. I was almost able to go home on Friday, but ran a fever Thursday evening and I blew my chance of getting out early. Instead, I got out on Saturday afternoon and am really glad to be home!
I am feeling way better than I was last week. I am actually eating more since I got home on Saturday. Katie's mom cooked chicken and noodles and it has been great comfort food!
During my hospital stay this week, Doctor Meroni visited us in the room to talk with us about the steps that he wants to take during the weeks between cycles. Doctor Meroni is one of the docs who is involved in my case because of the rareness of it. I will get into that in a little bit as well.
